Perhaps the US needs to address the USS Liberty attack, the deaths of US
citizens at the hands of Israeli troops. Put these matters on the table
and much more beside and we discover that Israel has NOT been a friend
of the US. at any time. This Mr Pollard was and is a traitor betraying
the US for the sake of Israel. Then one finds that AIPAC has the gall to
expect the US to go to war against Iran as it did with Iraq. AND wants
the US to continue to subsidise the Israeli budget. The US demeans
itself enough in relation to Israel.

Maybe you could release ALL Palestinian prisoners and evacuate every
single settlement and withdraw to 1948 Borders, your legal sovereign
borders and maybe Obama will release Pollard. Seems fair to me.

Of course before he gets out he has to divulge all details of who his
handlers were and what information he gave to a potential enemy. Until
he is willing to do that, there is little point in the discussion.

After all he and his Israeli and American friends did to try get
American Jews to turn on Obama, he's lucky Obama is even stopping there.
Oh yeah, there's all that rachomnes Bibi has shown to Palestinians in
Israeli jails.

Israel existence is from Unconditional support financially, militarily,
and politically. And yet they not only steal from its greatest
ally,they also demand the release of the spy. Let him rot in jail.
The Israeli leadership needs to know that US support should not be taken
for granted. For all you protractors, I hope I don't come off as anti-semetic

after just 10years! Of course he won't apply, because he would have to
expose the true extent of his treason in order to be approved! As you
have been told in the past...he has already received any leniency he had
coming and was not being put to death!

Pollard was neither charged with nor convicted of treason. He was
imprisoned for spying. Not the same. Also, Pollard coperated
COMPLETELY with the prosecution in a deal which Caspar Weinberger
cheated on. It is the US that has things to hide, not Pollard. This is
why the US doesn't want to let him out!

According to all we have heard here, P has not detailed what he turned
over to Israel and refuses to discuss who his Israeli handlers were. If
that is true (and we have no reason to doubt it), he is a long way from
complete cooperation. Try truth.

Pollard in no way has cooperated with the prosecution - he has never
divulged who in the Israeli government were his handlers or what
information he gave them in violation of his oath and against the
interests of his country.

Spying is treason whether its for Israel or Iran. Mr. Pollard was one
of the most damaging spy cases in the USA. He needs to spend the rest
of his life in prison!!! The bigger question is: Why is Israel spying
on the USA? Maybe your not such a good friend after all!!!
